Frequently Asked Questions

The minimum age to enter any Holland Casino venue in the Netherlands is 18 years old. This applies to all areas of the casino, including restaurants and bars within the gaming venue. You must present a valid passport, EU identity card, or Dutch driving licence at the entrance — no exceptions are made, even if you appear older. International driving licences and other forms of ID are not accepted.

The standard dress code at all Holland Casino venues is smart casual. This means clean, well-maintained clothing that is appropriate for a night out. Acceptable attire includes jeans (not ripped), collared shirts, blouses, dress shoes, and smart trainers. You will be refused entry if wearing sportswear, flip-flops, sleeveless shirts (for men), tracksuits, or beachwear. At Holland Casino Scheveningen, a jacket is recommended for the VIP area. When in doubt, slightly overdressing is always better than being turned away at the door.

All Holland Casino venues in the Netherlands follow the same schedule: they open at 12:00 noon every day.

ATM machines are available inside the casino for cash withdrawals. For table games, you exchange cash for chips at the table or at the cashier. Slot machines accept coins, banknotes, and casino cards (prepaid cards available at the cashier). We recommend bringing sufficient cash to avoid reliance on ATMs, which may charge fees.

Check the Holland Casino website for current tournament schedules, as they change weekly.

The easiest way is to visit our casino hotel pages, where we list the best-rated hotels near each venue with direct booking links. We recommend Booking.com for the best combination of prices and flexible cancellation policies. When booking, look for hotels within 1 km of the casino for convenient walking access. Book at least 2–3 weeks in advance for weekend stays, and consider midweek visits for significantly lower rates.

Hotel prices vary by city and season. The most affordable options are in Venlo (from €79/night) and Groningen (from €85/night). Mid-range cities like Breda, Eindhoven, and Rotterdam offer hotels from €89–€129/night. Amsterdam and The Hague (Scheveningen) are the most expensive, with starting prices from €119–€149/night. Weekend rates are typically 20–40% higher than weekday rates. During major events (King's Day, Dutch Design Week, summer holidays), prices can increase significantly. Booking early is the best way to secure good rates.

All Holland Casino venues are accessible by public transport. Amsterdam's casino is near Sloterdijk station (5 min from Centraal). Rotterdam's is a 5-minute walk from Centraal station. Scheveningen is served by tram line 1 from The Hague. Utrecht, Eindhoven, Breda, Groningen, and Venlo are all within a short bus or taxi ride from their respective train stations. The Dutch rail network (NS) is efficient and connects all casino cities. Purchase an OV-chipkaart at any station for convenient travel on trains, trams, and buses. Last trains typically depart around midnight, so plan your return transport if you plan to stay late — taxis and Uber are available in all cities.

Smoking is not permitted inside Holland Casino venues, in line with Dutch law that prohibits smoking in all public indoor spaces. However, most casinos have designated outdoor smoking areas where guests can step out during their visit. Some venues also have enclosed smoking lounges with ventilation systems, though these vary by location. Holland Casino Breda is one venue known for having a smoking lounge. E-cigarettes and vaping are also not permitted on the gaming floor.

Bar snacks and quick bites are also available.

Yes, Holland Casino operates the Favorites card, a loyalty programme available to all visitors. Signing up is free and you receive the card at the casino reception. The card earns points when you play, which can be redeemed for drinks, meals, and other benefits. Higher tiers (Silver, Gold, Platinum) unlock additional perks such as access to VIP lounges, dedicated hosts, priority seating, and invitations to exclusive events. The larger venues in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Scheveningen, and Utrecht have dedicated VIP areas with higher table limits and premium service.

Yes, gambling winnings above €449 are subject to a 29.5% tax (kansspelbelasting) in the Netherlands. This applies to both Dutch residents and tourists. The tax is automatically deducted by the casino before you receive your payout — you don't need to declare it separately. For example, if you win €1,000, the casino withholds €295 and pays you €705. If your winnings are €449 or less, you keep the full amount. Losses cannot be offset against winnings for tax purposes.

The gaming rules are standard international casino rules, so if you've played blackjack or roulette elsewhere, you'll feel right at home. The only currency accepted is the euro.

Larger venues like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht additionally offer electronic gaming options and sports betting (TOTO). If you're new to casino games, staff can explain the rules — some venues offer free gaming introductions on quieter evenings.
